NEW SOUNDS: GRAND POCKET ORCHESTRA

My scouts in Ireland have been on fire recently, although I'm told it's cold as hell there right now. Someone you'll be hearing plenty about on FUTURE SOUNDS 31 is the Dublin four-piece called GRAND POCKET ORCHESTRA. Compared to PAVEMENT by many, I'm feeling a bit more MODEST MOUSE in there, or perhaps a FS favorite, ILLINOIS. They could be the Irish version of New York's WHITE RABBITS. They had people talking after the HARD WORKING CLASS HEROES FESTIVAL this year and mix it up with our friends, FIGHT LIKE APES, quite often. Check out 'Little Messy'.
